Best Fishing Methods for the Boulder Bandit

Drop Shot Rig

Let the Bandit hover just above structure with subtle twitches and pauses. Deadly for picky fish in cold fronts and clear water.

Split Shot Rig

Drag it slowly across rocky creek bottoms to mimic a stunned baitfish.

Micro Jig Head

Bounce the Bandit off boulders and ledges for reaction strikes from trout and smallmouth.

Free Rig or Weightless

For ultra-clear or pressured creeks, let it glide naturally through pools and eddies.

Hook Pairing Recommendations

Pair with size 8–10 Creek Life Tungsten Bead Jig Heads, single hooks, or Micro EWG Hooks for optimal performance.
